This is the way adventures begin

To the Ariège and Minervois we rode, to tour the new show—but alas a black hole, a cavity in a tooth ! Back to the garrigue we limped to find a dentist. A crown has been set in place, and once more we ride!

“I do not insist," answered Don Quixote, "that this is a full adventure, but it is the beginning of one, for this is the way adventures begin.”
― Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra 

 

The beginning of our summer adventure took us from Fitou all the way to the Ariege for our first shows,

A la ferme de La Hitte, au jardin chez Francois just how we like it, people gathering in a cyclists garden.

And then, because of the cold and the rain we stayed inside in the teeny weeny La Grangette, it was crazy! We realised that we'd better create an indoor show for teeny spaces.

Plus an interview with our friend Joe Diomede, who we met cycling to Toulouse some time way back! Here it is at TTRP TV

Another show, another challenge! Wind!!!!! 

Chez Florence and Cyril, another garden full of cyclists from the local cycling association Carca'Velo

And another interview. This time in french with Frederic and here it is at The Vintage Bike Factory

 

Next Show yet another challenge! The bar!!!! O Petit Gabi our cute little Fitou shop had a big birthday bash with the whole village. Lucky we had come up with that shortened version for teeny weeny windy noisy indoor places....

 

Whilst keeping and losing dental appointments, we did go on a little weekend escapade to the Minervois to play two great shows. On at Le Tinal, hosted by french people who spoke very good english with an indian accent having spent eight years in India. The other in Cesseras with our lovely friends Odile and Jean-Michel at Beth Salem.

 

Now that a crown has been set in place,

and the cicadas are tymballing, it is time for adventures to begin anew,

no more adentures!
